About our group
HISTORY:
The original "100 Women Who Care" was started in November of 2006 by Karen Dunigan of Jackson, Michigan, as a brilliantly simple way to raise money efficiently and quickly for local charities/non-profits/worthy causes. Her group of 100 women, at their first one-hour meeting, each wrote a check for $100.00 directly to the charity, raising $10,000 to buy 300 new baby cribs for an organization in their city. Since then, they have grown to hundreds of members, and similar groups have formed all over the country and beyond.
HOW IT WORKS:
Your commitment involves attending four, one hour meetings a year, and pledging $100 per meeting. (You may also join as a 2-4 person team to share the cost of the donation. Your nomination and vote are still limited to one per meeting). At each meeting, any member wishing to request donations for a local charity/program/nonprofit will place her name into a hat. (To nominate a charity, you must have attended at least one meeting). Three names will be drawn from the hat. These three members (or a member of the charity) will have the opportunity to present a 5 minute explanation of the 501(c)(3) they nominated. There will then be a 5 minute Q&A. A vote is taken and the winner is announced. Each of the 100 women writes a check directly to the winning charity. The meeting ends and the winning charity receives $10,000 or more!
THAT IS POWERFUL!
